Sarah Palin found out what happens when you speak out the wrong way,I hope MR.Cruz does not suffer the same fate
I believe only his mother was. Doesn't really matter. He was born a U.S. citizen. He didn't have to naturalize. I'm sure if he wanted to run, the Senate would extend the same courtesy they did to McCain and declare Cruz natural born by resolution. The courts don't seem interested in addressing the issue of eligibility and the Roberts court in particular has already shown itself willing to defer to the voters.
So there you have it.
Is this true?
Is Cruz not actually Canadian, but is American?
If so, that would absolutely explain why the NYT is trying to damage him now.
I take back any references to Canada I have posted. Please illuminate us on the Canada vs America issue with Cruz.
Is he American?
"The Venona Secrets" is a long and tedious book, but it sheds a bright light on all the infiltration of our government by commie spies. Indeed, McCarthy was 100% right.
Even in the 20s and 30s, the commies and fellow-travelers had a tight hold on much of the press in the US and worshipful articles about the old Soviet Union were commonplace.
There was an excellent article by Norman Berdichevsky on FR this week (Feb 13) about this very phenomena in the film industry: Hollywood’s Intentional Ignorance of the Crimes of Communist and Muslim Regimes in the New English Review.
Interesting article over here: Could Canadian-Born Ted Cruz Be President?
"Bottom line: Despite being born in Canada, Cruz can be considered a natural-born U.S. citizen because his mother was also a U.S. citizen who lived in the United States long enough for him to qualify, according to constitutional experts."
Very interesting article.
Thanks. Cruz 2016 is a possibility. Interesting
High on the list of candidates.
Thanks very much.

If you ask me, McVeigh parked his Ryder in front of the wrong building.
They have been asking for it since the Civil War, agitated against a peaceful solution after Secession and for conquest of the south, as well as freeing the slaves and then not repatriating them back to where they came from.
In short,responsible for the murder of millions of Americans by the Federal government and by the descendants of freed slaves, and our coming third world status.
A 150 year record of relentless smear attacks and propaganda against real Americans.
Cruz could just make up a birth certificate that says all the right things and then igonre the critics just like BO does.
There will be people who claim that Cruz (same with Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal and Barack Obama) are ineligible because both parents weren't U.S. citizens when they were born. They'll shout this from the rooftops but their argument hasn't gotten much traction and little support outside of the fringe birther circus.
I predict if Cruz were to run, there might be a few angry birthers stomping their feet but there'd be no legal hurdles in regards to his eligibility that he would challenge.
From Drew68's #22: I believe only his mother was. Doesn't really matter. He was born a U.S. citizen. He didn't have to naturalize. I'm sure if he wanted to run, the Senate would extend the same courtesy they did to McCain and declare Cruz natural born by resolution. The courts don't seem interested in addressing the issue of eligibility and the Roberts court in particular has already shown itself willing to defer to the voters.
I am personally strongly pro Cruz--far more effective and more qualified candidate than Rubio. So I view all this commentary as a disaster.
The Natural Born Citizen eligibility question turns solely on the question of whether the individual was born within the geographical limits of the several states--all the rest of this stuff is pure nonsense. That is the substantive Constitutional Law answer.
The stuff about the Robert's Court is applicable to the effort to conceal the place and circumstances of the birth of the current occupant of the White House whose political supporters have obviously developed an effective way to control Roberts. If the Constitutional Law answer were uncertain, which it is not, it is a dreamworld for anyone to believe that a Roberts Court would influence the outcome in our favor.
The Senate action would be as irrelevant as it was in McCain's case--the Senate does not have the Constitutional Power to tell the Supreme Court how to decide questions of Constitutional Law; the Court has historically demonstrated an offensive reaction to this kind of Legislation. McCain was not eligible no matter who was on the Court--he was born in Panama.
Further, the citizenship answer itself is a little more complex--I have not studied Cruz's facts. But if his mother alone was a US Citizen, his citizenship at birth is not a clear answer either--depending on when he was born, citizenship from a US mother citizen requires compliance with several specific conditions.
Even worse, most Constitutional Law authorities (see the article in the Cornell Law Review) view the mother citizenship statute as unconstitutional because it does not provide for equal citizenship access to a person whose father was a US Citizen and the person's mother was not.
Surprising if true that this issue has not come up earlier--because citizenship is required (Article I, Section 3) to serve in the Senate: "No person shall be a Senator who shall not have . . . been nine Years a Citizen of the United States . . . . "
If only his mother was a US Citizen and she does not pass citizenship to Cruz, how does he get to be a Citizen at all absent a nationalization proceeding?
Was looking for that photo. Thanks for posting.
His father left Cuba when Casto came in so I don’t believe he would have still been considered a Cuban citizen and probably couldn’t pass Cuban citizenship to Ted.
It’s not about racism so much as it’s about stuff. The lib voters vote for stuff, not hteir country, which they should, as voting is something that’s done for the good of the country.
They will turn on their own race as certainly as they turn on their own country.
What is that from? The SOTU?
He won't get the air time. We'll have to get the word out by ourselves. It won't be easy.
Apparently she did, per U.S. code. If this weren't the case, Cruz would be an illegal immigrant as he never naturalized --a detail I'm sure his political opponents would have seized upon by now.
Is he a natural born citizen? I don't know. This would be for the courts to answer (or they can continue to evade the issue). I do believe that if Ted Cruz decided to run for President, he'd face no serious legal challenge in regards to his eligibility.
McCarthy WAS right. The Communists were all through out FDR’s cabinet. They knew every time FDR took a leak. The problem was that the press never told the American people so they think it is just a wackos that believe that stuff.
Fast forward to today, we have the same thing happening with Islamists. They are controlling the way we fight the war on terror and if anyone tries to out them they are labeled nut jobs and fired.
Evil is all around us and we had better wake the hell up.
Love that photo! You can certainly tell who the Patriot is in that pic...
